Obviously, the old quota system has played into this: the one where quota was set after first or second parties that had some groups taking massive numbers and the others less than 10. Even as a collegian, I remarked to friends that it would result in huge numbers of legacies someday and it has.

Picture this scenario at bid matching: "Okay, ladies, we know that quota is 50 but since ABC has 200 legacies, they will be allowed to take them all. And DEF, you can have all 100 of yours."

The Greek system set itself up for this. It made a bunch of women really happy back in the day but now, we're reaping the worst of it.
